Climatologist Dr. Pielke Sr. rips 2012 AMS warmist climate statement as example of the ‘very top-down control of this professional society’

Rips 'the lack of identifying who drafted the statement, & the ability to see what comments others have provided & the drafters' response clearly show the very top-down control...it is just a presentation by a small group of individuals, whose only hurdle are members of AMS Council, who themselves are selected by a small committee. The AMS members only get to vote for the selected slate of candidates. This is hardly a process to advance the public's knowledge'
